You're looking at the Wifi+3g version, try the Wifi only.

I think the Paperwhite was too popular, so to increase sales of the Voyage they have released the Oasis Seriously, the Voyage now looks really good value in comparison. But if it tastes like tuna, all bets are off

I find it interesting that the Voyage appears to be staying in the line up. I had assumed that the Oasis would replace the Voyage, but this does not appear to be the case. Might make it harder to get the Oasis to sell.
It will be interesting to hear more about the quality level of the case. Doubt it will be as good as the limited edition leather case for the Voyage. Also, not having a built in stand detracts from the Oasis. Will be interesting to see if 3rd parties will be able to justify making cases for it. |

Isn't the voyage's screen closer to the glass and not as sunken in as the paperwhite? I'm guessing the oasis would have the same screen as the voyage.

I wonder how well the buttons work? I actually like the "pagepress" of the Voyage and it makes the whole front of the device flush. On the Oasis, the buttons are raised up...wonder if they make an annoying mouse click each time you hit them?
I will keep my Voyage. I an interested in the design (off center weight and smaller size) but don't like being forced into the cover. Maybe Voyage 2 or Oasis Lite will give the option of NOT buying the cover. |
